The Fresh Loaf Pocket Book of Bread Baking

Books are where amateur bakers get most of our information about how to bake. We are fortunate, because there are a lot of wonderful bread baking books out there, with new one's coming out each year. Whenever I get a chance to read another bread baking book, I read and review here. There is also a forum for site members to post their book reviews[3]. If I am missing your favorite baking book, please, post something about there! The links to my reviews, each with a teeny synopsis:

Joe Ortiz's The Village Baker[21] is the book credited with launching the artisan bread movement in America.

Finally, I also should mention my e-book, The Fresh Loaf Pocket Book of Bread Baking[22]. Not nearly as comprehensive as Peter's books or the others listed here, but I think it is a nice, economical, unintimidating place for new bakers to get started.
